How does it compare to the Glad Tall Kitchen Drawstring Trash Bags for heavier load?

Whatever I have put in my Kirkland bags for the last 10 months has never given me a problem. I will buy them again; I have not used more than 1/3 of my bags at this point.

I've used these bags for almost 15 years now. Even put my foot into them to pack 'em tighter! In all that time, I've only had ONE drawstring break while pulling it closed. I think the bags are strong enough unless they're used for hauling scrap iron to the recyclers!

I don't use Glad. These work very well. I load them up and they don't tear. Not sure if they woul tear with a lot if sharp twigs but great for trash, kitty litter, etc.

Yes you can use regular trash bags. Though the tall kitchen garbage bags will be slightly small; we are able to make them fit (we just stretch them a bit to fit over the rim. Though since they are not actually sized for the trashcan, the bag will fill up before the trashcan does. Does that make sense? Whereas the Simple Human bag are made for the trashcan, so you can fit a lot more in the bag before having to change bags. I bought a huge box of normal tall kitchen garbage bags before buying this trashcan; so we are using those up before I even consider buying different bags. Hope this helps.I have to say though... I LOVE THIS TRASHCAN! Works easily, sturdy construction, and stains wipe off with ease. Yes you can use regular trash bags.

I've only used the cord that closes the top of the fabric basket..I like the cart but it doesn't really match my stairs so it is quite noisey as it "bounces" up the stairs. But it does carry 3 loads of groceries, it takes some strength to pull it but it's better than carrying the purchases up the stairs in 3 trips.

Hi, It really depends on how to use these bags. They have have about the same durability, however, if you don't have enough stuff or have too much stuff in the bag may damage the bag during vacuum the air out of the bag. Thank you, -epetbed

I haven't tried yet, I'm still using the complimentary bags that came with the trash can. However, it looks as if you can use just any bags that are big enough. I just went to the kitchen and tried one of my old 13 gal bags and it fits fine, it's even a bit large but this doesn't matter, you just have to pul the strings together and push one side to the little hole on top of the plastic insert.

I think you should absolutely buy the "regular" length bag...the 6' bag. The last thing in the world you want is to find your bag is too short. Additionally, I often stuff things in the bottom of my bag at night....socks, fleece, etc... things to have warm and handy should I need to rise at night or in the AM when I wake...having just a little extra space is convenient and the bag still warms up just fine in spite of the very slightly larger volume of air to warm.

These bags are premium - not dollar store quality. They fit my upright that I've had for over 20 yrs. I've haven't any issues - not tearing or anything. They fill up with the dirt (I have 4 dogs & sandy soil) so the bags get heavy!

We have a small house, small rugged area and a very big hairy dog. One bag lasted 2 months. Also had a bagless and find this so much easier, cleaner- no dust blow black when emptying -and healthier. The super lined bag traps every dust particle. Suction is definitely stronger than bagless and previous Kenmore canister.

This answer applies to the small swoop bag: I only saw it briefly after my nephew opened his gift, but the thing I remember is that the bag is very stiff and the sides do stay up. I did not expect it to be so stiff; in fact pulling the drawstring requires a fair amount of effort because the fabric is so strong.

I use the kitchen trash bags from Costco and they work well. They did show around the rim but I didn't have time to fiddle with it while I was there to see if that could be overcome. It's in a vacation cabin.

I find that the bags for the lucky champ last longer. I found litter genie is better with odor control, but the champ's issue with odor is mostly when I am dumping litter into it. The smell that comes out when I push down on the trap door thingy can be pretty intense, and will take about a minute or two to dissipate. However, the litter I use might be to blame. Still, I find the champ more convenient and easier to deal with when it comes to dumping the litter and replacing the bag.

I'm sorry, I don't know what that is. I use it outside for my pup, and I use standard tall kitchen white garbage bags. I have been very pleased with this purchase.

I use standard tall kitchen bags. The bags are a little small for the can and need to be stretched a bit to fit the top. Use good quality bags and you shouldn't have any trouble. I haven't had any. You can also use standard green lawn and leaf bags, but I didn't like all the excess bag in the bottom of the can.

It's a lot heavier than the regular trash cans. Not as heavy as the garbage companies issued garbage cans though. We are very pleased with the purchase.

I cannot recommend a good cover, but I can say that the one offered on Amazon is a little dodgey. The one I got had a tear in one of the seams. It was a hassle to send it back, considering the price, so I now use a contractors, black, garbage bag. It fits pretty well and if it gets damaged, I just pull a fresh one out of the box. I recommend the contractor's waste bags because the plastic is a heavier gauge than the standard, black trash bags.

It's very similar to a 5 gallon bucket. I use two garbage bags (one inside the other) and kitty litter. Much easier. Just tie up and throw in the dumpsters. Great way for easier disposal and odor free.

not unless it's a tall one. It's a 50 liter can. I can use the regular plastic tall kitchen bags just fine. I think they're 13 gallon size. It's 9.5" x 17" x 23" high inside the can with the top off. The thing I like most about it is that the top holds the bag tight, so I can push down the trash without the bag going inside the can. The bag lasts longer that way.
